SOFTWARE SERIAL NUMBER REQUEST??

Hi all
This morning when I started up Motion 3 it asked me to enter my serial number. The timing of this request is quite bizarre as I installed the FCS 2.0 update months ago, and have used Motion 3 many times since then. I have not recently software update the application either [ie Software Update for incremental BUP]. Anyhow, my point is that I tried entering my original Motion Serial Number [from when it was a standalone app], then the FCP Production Suite Serial Number, then FCS 2.0 Upgrade Serial Number and NONE OF THESE WERE VALID as per the message!
Does anyone know what serial number / version etc it is asking for because they are all valid!!!! and not some dodgy copy that some kid's been distributing illegally!!!
FUNNY THING HOWEVER, this serial request occured when opening Motion 3 from the application icon situated on my dock - I then tried opening Motion 3 from my most recent project [the one I need to work on immediately] and it opened without problem / without asking for my serial number [whichever one it is referring to that is!].
ANY IDEAS, this is very concerning...
Motion version 3.0.1, FCP 6.0.1 etc

Yes many valid licences for all versions since FCP 1.0!
One of the main reasons I've posted this enquiry too is to see if it happening to other users...
FUNNY THING IS, about half an hour later I attempted to reopen Motion via the App Icon on the Dock and it opened up without an issue... Quite bizarre.
So in summary,
1. could not open via dock application icon without asking for serial numbers which when entered did not validate
2. could then open motion via double clicking on an existing project
3. then 1/2 hour later could open motion via dock application icon without prompt for serial number
Fortunately it is working now, but I hope it does not occur again when I am under more pressure than this morning. I will get in touch with apple and post their reply / the path taken, if any, to ensure there is no repeat of the issue.
BR all and thanks for the responses

  • I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request.

    You must first make the purchase, then you will receive the serial number you are asking about.  YOu do not acquire the serial number thru the software.  You acquire it thru the purchase, possibly via a follow-up confirmation  email.

  • Lost Software Serial Number!!

    Hi, I have a problem. Recently I had to re-install everything on my MBA.
    Only today I tried to use Pages but it ask me to buy it or to have a 30 days trial.
    The problem is that I bouth the Software serial number in 2007 and I don't have it with me anymore.
    Is there a way to get it back??
    Thanks
    Andrea

    If you bought the serial number electronically, you can get the serial number from the list of online purchases in your Apple Store account. Go to the Store tab at the top of this page, click Account (small, faint gray word next to the cart icon in the upper right), click on Downloadable Software Purchases & sign in.
    If not & you have a backup of HD > Library > Preferences (the main HD Library, not a user Library) copy the com.apple.iwork.plist to the same location on your MBA.

  • Good afternoon.  Product Adobe Muse serial number requests. What to do?  I paid for a month, but I work in the trial version.  If you can not make out, it will no longer use the services.

  • Serial number request after transfer

    Following many reinstallations when transfering my complete catalog of PE 8, I now receive this message when switching fron Organizer to Editor:
    - I have deactivate this serial number on one of my PC and I can ask Adobe now to validate this number;
    - I have a new serial number...;
    -  I want to solve this problem later (5 days remaining).
    What should I do since I do not want to to deactivate now on my old PC before I am completely sure of the transfer. So I must continue workig for now.
    Beside my intention woul be to up grade to PE 10 some day, Should I do it now in order to solve everyting? In that case what w will happen with the old catalog? Must I keep version 8 on the PC?
    Help please

    It does’nt seem to cover PE 8 so it does not solve my problem.

    Some of my third party software has stopped working. Serial numbers are corrupt. Quark, Photoshop, FileMaker in particular. Filemaker error - A general activation error has occured ( -76 ). Quark error - The activation for this copy of QuarkXpress has been corrupted. You will need to reinstall this copy of QuarkXpress. I have reinstalled all of the effected programs with the same result. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Serial Number Requested Again

    Aperture 2.1.4, which previously worked fine, is now asking for the serial number again. The weird thing is that on the About screen it both says that it is a Trial AND shows my serial number and name. It says it will expire in 30 days.
    I've tried reinstalling, deleting the ProApps folder, and deleting the preferences file. I've also reinstalled it from my Time Machine Backup, but nothing seems to work. I see others have had a similar problem, but cannot find a solution.
    Apple, are you listening?
    Brett
    Message was edited by: bcalcott

    @balcott: The fix for what you describe is deleting the Aperture System ID from the ProApps folder. If that didn't work, all I can tell you is to run AppZapper to completely wipe Aperture from your system and reinstall.
    @Kit Try what balcott already tried because it usually works: Go to Library/Application Support/ProApps and remove the file Aperture System ID. (This is in the ROOT library not the user library) Then relaunch Aperture. It should ask for your serial only once
    my Aperture Library still describes itself as "Aperture Trial Library".
    You mean in the finder? Your Aperture Library can have any name. Just change it when aperture is not running then double click it to make it your default.

  • Serial Number Request is constant!

    I bought Logic Studio, fair and square. I use it on only one computer. Yet, I frequently am required to re-enter my product serial number. Same in Mainstage2. If I quit, instead of entering the number, then relaunch, sometimes it still asks me for the SN, other times, it just loads up. I repaired permissions, but I can't seem to figure out why this happens with such frequency. Any suggestions?

    Hi Steve,
    It seems that we might need to provide/reset the permission on the given folders to resolve the issue.
    Kindly try this command as typed:
    cacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache" /T /E /C /G administrators:F
    cacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD" /T /E /C /G administrators:F
    cacls "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore" /T /E /C /G administrators:F
    And then follow the steps mentioned in the first reply, also try the additional step :
    Go to C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore unhide all  the hidden files and folders and delete them.(Do not delete the folder)
    Launch Acrobat.
    Thanks,

  • Serial number request REPEATEDLY

    I have the newest version of Aperture, with newest updates, running, and am prompted for serial numbers on each opening. I've tried deleting the ProApps file. Nothing helps. I can't find contact information for support through Apple with this issue. This is a huge problem for our studio.

    Sometimes Aperture writes the  "ProApp System ID" file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If deleting the  "ProApp System ID" from the Library does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
      Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps
    This document describrs how to contact Apple:
          Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers.

  • Serial Number requested on a new(used) machine.  Which one?

    I just bought a used 8 core 3ghz macpro. Everything is working beautifully...except...I am being asked to provide a password for FCP. I have the software all the way back to FCP1.0 and have upgraded to FCP Studio2 and running FCP 7.0.2. I've tried all my passwords and none of them work. Any suggestions?
    Much Thanks,
